Abstract (in English)

The users of a place are one of the main resources in defining the cultural identity and spirit of that place. The results of a field survey in Tarsus with the aim of assessing user-ascribed values revealed that some user-valued places and attributes were not covered by current legal and administrative rules and regulations in Turkey. In this context, this paper firstly identified the methodology of the field survey. Secondly, the current legal and administrative definitions of heritage and conservation tools in Turkey are assessed. Thirdly, the outcomes of the field survey are presented and the results in relation to legal and administrative aspects are evaluated. The paper concludes by suggesting new definitions and tools for the protection of the importance of the cultural places to the inhabitants.
